Upon the release of the Mountain Goat's latest album, the band's founder and songwriter talks about the literary influences on his prolific output and the biblical theme of his latest opus.There is much about the work of John Darnielle that is potentially imposing, but sitting down to prepare for an interview with him I found the thing most daunting to confront is his generosity. Not the genero...

I love when bands include Alaska on their tour maps. But, I don't know of any non-Alaskan bands who have ever started their US tour from the arctic state! It's possible that Mountain Goats will be the first to do so. John Darnielle and friends announced a west coast US tour that starts in Anchorage, stops in B.C. and heads south to West Hollywood. The fun starts on February 19th and continu...

Minnesota Public Radio asked The Mountain Goats to write a Super Tuesday song and the Goats came through. The song they wrote is called "Down to the Ark" and while it doesn't specify which candidate they endorse it does have a distinct biblical tone. You can read the lyrics at Tiny Mix Tapes and download the mp3 from Public Radio's website:http://www.tinymixtapes.com/The-Mountain-Goats-Pen-So...

So, last weekend I went to see The Mountain Goats at the Union Chapel (which is an amazing venue and it was an amazing show - all of you who didn't go will probably regret it in years to come).My friend Jo did think it was in poor taste, being that we were in a chapel, for TMG to pull up Eddie Argos for the finale to sing The Best Ever Death Metal Band Out Of Denton (I am sure you can see the h...

The Mountain Goats are one of my favorite bands that nobody else seems to dig. I try to get so many people to appreciate the genius of John Darnielle, but 95% of the time it ends up in me swearing at them and getting called a music snob. So I'm not going to try to tell you why you should like The Mountain Goats, but I will say that I love them.Here's a new track from the upcoming The Life Of Th...

Looking back at the past decade was tough for us at Knox Road. This was the decade we grew up in. We went through puberty, graduated high school and drank our first beers to this music. So when looking at what music is the “best” of the decade, it’s damn near impossible to separate the [...]

City Arts & Lectures, Inc. presents John Darnielle In Conversation and Song hosted by Tobias Wolfe. I'm a huge fan of John Darnielle and The Mountain Goats. I don't know anything about City Arts & Lectures, Inc. but it's funny to see the host (author Tobias Wolfe) sing back up vocals for John. Thanks to largeheartedboy.PigeonsandPlanes
